The Editor's Corner isn't the right place to post this question.

In Server there is a BCI interface for calling external subroutines, but it is a complicated procedure and it is easier to write a program that accepts command line arguments and to call that from DataStage.

In PX you can write your own buildops.

All of this depends on which language the routines are written, what argument types they have and how you intend to get return values.

Without knowing the platform we can't answer about functions exposed by ActiveX controls.
